The ZProtocol2000 software enables users to manage and monitor Kramer Audio and Video switchers through a user-friendly interface. It provides full control and allows for smooth functionality.
Getting started with ZProtocol2000 is a breeze. First, install PySerial and the jaxml Python module. Once those are installed, extract the ZProtocol2000 tarball in Zope's Products directory and restart Zope. Add an instance of ZProtocol2000, fill in the form, and you're up and running. Keep in mind that the user Zope runs as must have read and write access to the serial port you plan to use. If you're using a recent Debian GNU/Linux distribution, simply put the zope user in the dialout group and restart Zope.
ZProtocol2000 has been thoroughly tested with a Kramer VS-5X4 and a Kramer VS-601XLM, both of which were used independently. While not yet tested, the software is believed to be able to control several different switchers linked together in a serial daisy chain, forming a mega-switcher. ZProtocol2000 was tested using Zope 2.6.1 with Python 2.1.3 on Debian GNU/Linux and Mozilla 1.3 under GNU/Linux and MSWindows.
Overall, ZProtocol2000 is a reliable and efficient tool for controlling Kramer Audio and Video switchers. Keep in mind that your results may vary based on your specific system configuration.
